Manic HD ’19

MANIC HD 2019

Color: C3

DESCRIPTION

The dual concept of our Manic HD range combines power and light feeling at its best, creating one of the most radical wave sails on the market with more power than ever before!

FOR WHOM:

With the Manic HD any conditions will be tamed with ease by wave sailors, storm chasers and bump & jump enthusiasts anywhere, anytime!

The combination of a 5-batten design of the Manic HD 5.0 and bigger and a more radical 4-batten design of the smaller sizes guarantees to get the most out of each sail size, you choose for your personal quiver. With a more powerful profile, the bigger Manic HD sails will creates speed quickly to be able to catch waves in gusty, light winds and be able to perform big jumps even on the lightest days. The 4 battens of the Manic HD 4.7 and smaller create a radical feeling and allow immediate response in tight turns and explosive cutbacks.

All sails have been equipped with a new panel layout with a smaller window and the fresh parallel batten concept, creating a more compact outline and a lighter, smoother and more equilibrated feeling. The brand-new metallic 4 mil X-Ply and 1.75 mil 2-ply add higher UV resistance and a shining look to the range. Our Convertible Batten System allows you to use the Manic HD with a short batten above the boom, depending on your individual preference.

These features provide you with the most versatile Manic HD range, we ever developed, getting you in the water first and out of the water last!

This little add-on for the top cap on the
Vario Tops protects the adjustable webbing
from breaking down from wear and tear on
rough ground.

INTEGRATED TENSIONER

Very light and durable for the perfect trim.

MAST SLEEVE OPENING

The GA Silicon patch above the boom cutout opens the mast pocket just a little, allowing the rider to insert the mast with just one hand, without having to move up the luff.

OUTHAUL PULLEY

Available on Vapor and Phantom models. An easy, quick system to rig and make adjustments. CLEAN and SIMPLE.

SPECS PRINT

Helpful specs of luff and boom lengths as well as recommended mast use to allow you to rig your sails just like the pro’s do!

MINI BATTEN

Smaller and lighter for 2018 mini battens help with the stability of the sail without adding unnecessary stiffness or weight to your rig.

3D HEAD PROTECTION

Protects the head from getting damaged for
a long lasting sail.

ROLL UP LEASH

Quick, easy elasticated system that keeps sails roll up nice and tidy. Perfect when storage space is at a premium.

REINFORCEMENT BATTEN POCKET

Light and durable reinforced area, to help protect against all types of wear and tear!

PROTECTED HEAD AND CLEW

We added an X-ply panel at the back of the window and at the clew of the wave sails to improve protection in this area from crushing. For the same reason, the very top panel of the wave sails have an X-ply Panel.

C-FILM

To get the best possible colour for the longest possible time, we have invested heavily in our film over the past season. The result
is outstanding colour that won´t fade no matter what you do to it.season. The result is outstanding colour that won´t fade no matter what you do to it.

X-PLY

The best in the business and the best for us. We have been working closely with dimension to ensure we have the toughest
sails on the market including our top of the line 4MIL X-Ply which is lighter and stronger than ever before.

DACRON LUFF PANEL

Comes in all Manic, Manic HD, IQ, Pure, Hybrid, Pilot and Matrix designs, allowing for a smoother/softer feel that gives the sail life!

CLEW AREA

Our refined clew patch provides the ultimate in strength and durability. It also protects the stitching with the new styling features.

TACK FAIRING

A redesign that makes the fold flow much easier. It is clean and just how it needs to be: Perfection!

In 2018 we will continue to develop our masts with Constant Curve Bend. This has allowed us to approach development from new angles and push the performance of the sails further each season.

RADIAL LOAD TAPE

Comes on Manic, Manic HD, IQ and Hybrid. In addition to our radial panel layout, this reinforces the sail along the load lines
whilst reducing the stretch of the material, allowing the sail to hold its shape longer when you get hit by stronger winds.

VARIO POCKET

A simple pocket on the top of the luff sleeve allows to to store away any excess webbing from your Vario Strap. No more flapping Vario Tops in the 2018 GA Sails range.

DOUBLE SEAM

This heavy duty reinforcement area through the windows on the wave sails gives solid durability at these critical areas.

POSI-LEECH

Updated for 2018 the Posi-Leech system now has a refined smooth cutout line to the first batten. Improving sail twist and response in all conditions.

INTEGRATED BATTEN TECHNOLOGY

To reduce the overall weight of our sails the top batten have been designed using an integrated panel design. Rather than
add extra weight for the batten pocket the batten pocket is sewn directly into the panel. Improving strength and reducing
swing weight.

CONVERTIBLE BATTEN SYSTEM

Designed to further increase the range of our wave sails the convertible batten allows you to add depth and power in lighter winds or stability and control when it gets windy.

RADIAL PANEL LAYOUT

Improved layout for a perfect and locked-in sail shape, providing a smooth profile, twist control and durability. The 3rd generation
provides a full Radial Panel Layout from all 3 corners of the sail, the seams are aligned with the forces that originate from the tack, clew and head to avoid deformations of the shape and design of the sail.
The new RADIAL LOAD TAPE brings even more
heavy duty into the sails.

2-PLY

In order to be able to reduce the weight of the sails we developed a completely new range of laminate materials with a much thinner film supported by a double structure of fibers
- a balanced scrim of fibers orientated in the warp that fit within a classic X-Ply angled series of fibers. From its structure the name
2-Ply arose. We have created a complex woven web with the highest durability that is also very lightweight. Besides the proven
X-Ply, we use this laminate in the upper sail body to achieve minimal swing weight and protection of critical areas.

VARIO TOP

The GA Vario top will not slip. Designed for maximum performance the GA vario top is easy to use and strong enough for the PWA. With set and forget system that means you only have to adjust it once.
